Justice for Ireland.


Believing that all peoples are entitled to the
same measure Of liberty and the enjoyment OF the
same rights and privileges as are guaranteed to
the people OF this free and Independent country,
many OF the citizens Of the District and others
temporarily soJourning here have united in calling
mass meeting at the Masonic Temple next
Thursday night. The object will be to protest
against the passage of the iniquitOus coercion bill
for Ireland now pending in the English parlia-
ment, as the most cruel oppressive, and Odious
measure ever sought to be inflicted upon an al
ready suffering people; also to declare sympathy
with, and extend moral support as American
citizens to- Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Hon. Charles
S. Parnell in their laudable efforts to defeat such
legislation. The paper has been circulated for
only two days and received over 500 signatures
